Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask St. Catherine). They were the clear victors by a 25-1 margin over the Collegiate Cougars on Thursday. The Saints have beaten the Cougars the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Cougars has come to flipping the script.

Kinnady Branch was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs she has posted since back in May of 2024.

In other batting news, St. Catherine's got a massive performance out of Olivia Tull, who went a perfect 5-for-5 with five runs, three RBI, and one double. Those five runs gave Tull a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jordan Morey, who went 4-for-5 with four runs, four RBI, and one double.

St. Catherine's pushed their record up to 14-1 with the win, which was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Collegiate, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-10.

Looking ahead, St. Catherine's will challenge Flint Hill at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Saints 2, the Huskies 1.6) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Collegiate, they will face off against Christchurch School at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
